I am trying to change a password using the cPanel API. cPanel doesn't change the password if the username and password are the same. Are there any other cases when cPanel doesn't change the password?
You should check the log files for the reason
/usr/local/cpanel/logs/access_log
/usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log
Your best bet might be to look at the regular user's documentation about changing passwords; it should point out what can't be done, etc.
In order to change password for cPanel users, it should be allowed from WHM,
You can check it from WHM >> Tweak settings >> Allow cPanel users to reset their password via email

I have configured liferay to authenticated to OpenLdap. Cas, import and export is activated.
User create from OpenLdap can authenticate to portal, also is imported into Liferay. It seems importing process is ok.
When user try to modify an attribute other than password the data is modified on OpenLdap.
The problem is when user try to modify their password. Liferay ask for current pass and the new one. It get a error saying credentials an incorrect.
If i try to modify the password of the user with a administrator user, Liferay only ask for the new password. After that, the user with de password changed by de admin user can log in with the new password. So, it seems password is modified correctly on OpenLdap. If user, try to modify again the password, Liferay say that everything was ok, but the user cannot autenticate with the new passord, only with old password.
After that if I try to change de password again with admin user, Liferay say that everthing was ok but the user now cannot authenticate with new password.
I'm using Liferay 6.2 ce.
I have modified :
ldap.auth.method=password-compare
ldap.auth.password.encryption.algorithm=SHA
ldap.auth.method=bind
on portal-setup-wizard.propertiesenter code here
Any Idea?
Thanks very much in advance.
with several values without success.
Compare is not a best practice for LDAP in general.
"Bind is preferred by most vendors so that you don't have to worry about encryption strategies."
Also there appears to be a bug in LifeRay that may affect your version.
When I create another admin user, how can he change password. I disallow 'Administrators' permissions since he can make him self SuperAdmin. Without that he cannot change his profile, like password. Is there a way to have better control on Administrators.
Use password reminder option from a login screen. There's no "user profile" functionality for each administrator separately.
I need to login user depending on some parameter/flag i will be setting, how to log him in without asking for a password?
Have a look at the the ATG Documentation on Auto-Login with Cookies and Security Status.
I installed 15 days trial cPanel & WHM 11.40 in CentOS installed amazon aws server. I could successfully logged into WHM with root's password. But I cannot log into cPanel (domain:2083) using the same username and password. Please help me to log into cPanel.
Thank You.
you need to update nameserver or A record for the domain name in domain control panel,
After login into your whm panel==>create a new hosting account for the domain name,
Now you can able to access cpanel without any issue.
WHM and Cpanel are actually 2 different parts. WHM is for server administration while with cpanel you can perform website management.
you need to use root password to login to WHM , however you can not use root password to login to cpanel. so in order to login to cpanel you have to use the password when you add a website through WHM. While creating the account through WHM it asks to set the password or you can use password generator feature. Copy that password , copy the cpanel username and use them to login to cpanel.
I hope that explains all.
